To me, experiencing snow and all the things related to it is almost a staple of what it means to be American. Who doesn't dream of a white Christmas? You would rather have a warm and sunny Christmas? Yuck.

If someone hates snow, then they'd be better off living in an actual tropical country.

Exactly. If it's 95 in June, that's fine, it's summer it's supposed to be hot. But, and I'm a Texan, an 88 degree Thanksgiving is kind of annoying.

There's something quaint about a cold holiday. That being said, I'd gladly live in CAli and suffer through a 70 degree Xmas.

I like snow but I don't like the mixture of snow and high population density. Been there, done that and it is miserable. Any snowy places with density levels like Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are okay. Any snowy places with population density like eastern Massachusetts are a no-go. I would have no major issues with a Massachusetts-like level of density if it was in non-snowy climate.

I can understand this (shoveling I assume?) I have only seen snow fall from the sky once, and because of the wind that was also going on, I disliked it. The tour guide also said it was only a flurry... But I love cold weather in reality, maybe I just need a snow tolerance.

I'm starting to consider places that actually get snow like Denver so I can have the experience. I've only seen snow fall once, only seen fall leaves twice... pretty terrible, if you ask me. Most of Arizona looks the same and it sucks. Also, it is currently 82... and it feels hot out. I don't like this.

You could move the PNW. It is cool to cold in winter, but it snows only 1-2 times a year and melts nearly immediately. Generally if you want snow, you have to go up into the mountains. It was fun to go up in the middle of August when it was scorching for my relatives back in the Midwest and have snowball fights on the patches.

Las Vegas - More of a touristy party-town than a place I would want to call home
Phoenix - Too hot in the summer for me
Detroit - Does this one really need an explanation?
NYC - Great to visit (I want to go back), but just not a place I could see myself wanting to live in
WA DC - High COL + horrible traffic + a mecca of corrupt politicians = yuck!
